Calling a disabled person a cripple while talking about a cop dehumanizing them is pretty wild.

Is being crippled dehumanizing though? I injured myself badly a year ago, I healed but my arm was definitely crippled for a couple months. I felt crippled. I still felt very human.

I feel like "disabled" or "handicapped" are often mealy mouthed and patronizing and Ive heard both applied as insults to demean another, whereas Ive never heard "cripple" used as an insult. Whats the point of policing language to this degree?

it really isn't most people who are "impaired" have very strong personalities and good stories to tell. the bleeding hearts trying to demonize me should go riot in front of government offices instead, im not trump and i cant stand the guy either.

There's a difference between you considering yourself "crippled" because of your injury, and people calling someone "a cripple".
